Habtoor Polo remains unbeaten in the Gold Cup



Mohammed Al Habtoor´s  team defeated Zedan by 7 goals to 6 in overtime and Bin Drai won their game against Mahra 14 goals to 9.

We had an exciting afternoon at the Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club with two great polo matches for the Gold Cup tournament.

Bin Drai and Habtoor Polo where the winners of the matches played today. Saeed Bin Drai´s team defeated Mahra by 14 goals to 9 while Mohammed Al Habtoor´s team made the same against Zedan by 7 goals to 6 in overtime.

The match between Bin Drai and Mahra was full of exciting moments and goals. The game played by this two teams is, until the moment, the top scored match in the Dubai Polo Gold Series 2013.


Mahra made a great half time, taking a difference of three goals at the end of the second chukka (7-4). But a great reaction by Bin Drai turn things over and the scoreboard had them as leaders during the second half of the game.
A great performance by Juan José Brane, with 8 goals, four in the last chukka, made things easier for Bin Drai´s victory.

In the second match of the day, Habtoor Polo and Zedan brought another great game to the crowd in the Dubai Polo & Equestrian Team.
With a constant coming and going in the actions and the goals both teams brought great polo to the main field of the club.
Nachi Heguy in Zedan and Ezequiel Martínez for Habtoor had outstanding performances this afternoon.
With a one goal difference in the fourth chukker, Heguy took the game to overtime after scoring a great goal.
But in the extra chukker it was Martínez turn to answered with another great move to give Habtoor Polo the victory and a good chance to reach the semifinals of the Gold Cup.

The Gold Cup returns on Monday with two new matches. At 2.30 Habtoor Polo will face Bin Drai and at 4 pm Abu Dhabi plays against Zedan, both matches will be held at the Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club.
